No, it’s not. It’s nowhere near that simple. The master cylinder is only one part of many which affects the way the brakes will feel.

Yes you can. But larger, more powerful brakes will always be easier to modulate.

What? Have you never heard of something called modulation?

I can’t get over the hideous yellow of the interior displays. They remind me of a car a buddy owned in high school - some 198-something Japanese sedan. It had the same yellow backlighting on the dash mounted digital clock.

Which part?

But why?

Had to go to Paynesville, MN for a 4 day trip. Closest hotel I could find was out in St. Cloud, 40 minutes away. Flew into Minneapolis, and head to pick up my reserved mid-sized rental from Thrifty. Get there, they tell me they’ve got a Nissan Versa for me. I disagree with them on the car/category, and tell them I…

In Canada, Rogers and Bell will just jack up your price with no explanation if you’ve got a good deal on a legacy plan.

Wear bulletproof vest and helmet every time you drive?

It boggles my mind that cars don’t have progressive brake lights yet either. (ie, they get brighter or wider/larger as braking force increases). The technology to do that has been around for ages - probably the stupid regulations not allowing it.

But that’s predicated on the fact that you believe your life is more important than anyone elses life. What if it’s not?

Did a similar trip this past summer. But my experience was apparently much different.

This thread of puns was positively entertaining!

I always thought a jet ski was a stand up, where a seadoo is a sit down.

Bosch now makes a saw called the Reaxx - same technology but doesn’t destroy the blade. And it uses blank shotgun shells from the look of things, which is likely pretty cheap to replace.

I’d venture a guess that the trailer was empty too, based on how much it jumped / bounced.

Try to make something fool proof and they’re just going to find a bigger idiot.

Yes, the TDI automatics are DSG. But it is awfully surprising how many have manual transmissions in them. I assume because of how easy and enjoyable they are to drive as a manual. (Currently touring England in a Skoda Octavia Estate with the 1.6TDI and a manual box. Love it.)

Someone should make a bumper sticker of that.

Ah yes, the Ferd F-TeenThousand. Everyone needs one for running to the grocers mart, don’t they?
